This report presents area reduced navigation accuracy test flight data collected along an experimental area naviation route structure - the so-called Northeast Corridor. This corridor is an experimental helicopter airway structure extending between Washington, D.C., and Boston, Mass. It contains of 2 one-way, reduced width (4 nautical miles (nmi)) airways including one route spur from Allentown, Pa. These flight tests were a joint effort of the Federal Aviation Administration and the Helicopter Association International (HAI). The objective was to determine if the NEC could be navigated within the 4-nmi airway boundary at the 95 percent confidence level required by Advisory Circular (AC) 90-45A, ''Approval of Area Navigation Systems for Use in the U.S. National Airspace System.''
